[QUOTE="TIF, post: 2986510, member: 56859"]Good job!! Looks great :) I don’t think you need to wait to apply the Verdicare. It’s not like Ren Wax; it doesn’t seal the coin. Upon initial application the coin will look darker, like it’s wet... because it will be wet with Verdicare :D. Put enough VC on the coin to cover and penetrate all surfaces, let it sit a while (~15 minutes for coins with no BD, longer for those with heavy verdigris or which underwent prior BD treatment), adding a bit more when needed and flipping the coin over a time or two, then dab off the excess and let it dry. I doubt it will significantly change the patina of this particular coin. I’ve only observed darkening on areas of coins which have porous verdigris (darkens the green) or similar other types of porous light-colored patina.[/QUOTE]
